I would be extremely careful, since it failed for a reason and you were very lucky not to set the house on fire, which looks like it came pretty close to.

There’s a whole range of cli tools to extract and query structured data like that, but you might consider loading it into something like sqlite3 and treating it as a database because those formats are really not intended for queries, they’re designed for sharing data.

For some workloads it’s true that you can do the heavy lifting on a more powerful remote machine and transport the results back to an endpoint device like a phone. Websites are a good relatable example of that, as are services like YouTube.

It’s not universally applicable for many activities that computers are involved with, data analysis, record keeping, simulations and a myriad of other processes.

Blurring of the lines between these different orders of magnitude is made possible by faster and faster networks, but that’s physically not able to beat processing done inside a single device.

The more powerful we make computers, the more complex problems we use them for. I suspect that this is unlikely to change as computers evolve.

One of the fundamental differences between phones, laptops, desktops, and beyond is size. While that sounds obvious, it also means that the amount of processing within the device is constrained by that size.

The constraints relate to how much energy can be used by each device and more importantly, how much cooling is available for the system.

It means that there’s a physical limit on how much work each device can do without being unusable.

While miniaturization is a factor, it’s not linear and you can only get so small before you fail.

So, depending on what you want to do in any given time, the device you use will dictate what’s physically possible.

This is a lesson that the religious fundamentalists currently running the USA have weaponised.

A search engine?

There is a lot of hype in this article and precious little in the way of verifiable facts.

Does anyone have any links to something more credible?

Pretty sure that they already shared it with copilot, so I’m guessing that it’s only a matter of time until everyone has a copy…

Whenever I’ve seen this, the issue is an out of date image. Do a docker pull and see if it persists.

1. The article links to the main page of the department of medicine at Cairo University, but does not cite any actual sources.
2. The cause of death is claimed to be Malaria.
3. The article is two weeks old.
4. The site publishing it is not in Egypt.
5. I could not find any reference to either malaria or tutankhamun on the linked website.

Seems to me that a grain of salt should be applied when considering its content.

I know that the company Functional Software brought out some Functional Sockware, I wore them for years.

Whatcha doin '?

Asking for money is one thing. Asking for money after removing functionality that I depended on is quite a different thing.

To be clear, I voiced my concerns in writing and was ignored.

It’s a shame that Signal has discontinued its support for normal SMS, hadn’t implemented RCS, is spending too much effort on “stickers” and now keeps prodding you to donate money. Then there’s the broken notification with iOS users who just don’t find out that you messaged them until they launch the app.

As a direct result my use of Signal has pretty much ceased.
